[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] bus: skip useless iterations in rte_bus_find

[Gaetan Rivet]

The starting point is known. The iterator can be directly set to it.

The function rte_bus_find can easily be used with a comparison function
always returning True. This would make it a regular bus iterator.

Users doing so would however accomplish such iteration in

   O(N * N/2) = O(N^2)

Which can be avoided.

In practice, such cost is entirely negligible of course.
It is cleaner and more correct though.
